• Rock Salt – As required (Balances flavors)

Processing Steps

1. Preparation of Ingredients

• Selection & Cleaning:
  • Sprouted jowar and emmer wheat grains are cleaned to remove dust and impurities.
• Sprouting & Drying:
  • Soaked and sprouted grains are dried at low temperatures (<50°C) to retain nutrients.
• Milling:
  • The dried grains are finely ground into sprouted jowar and emmer wheat flours.

2. Dough Preparation

• Flour Mixing:
  • In a mixing bowl, combine sprouted jowar flour, sprouted emmer wheat flour, coconut powder, and rock salt.
• Fat Incorporation:
  • Add cold-pressed coconut oil and mix until a crumbly texture forms.
• Sweetener Addition:
  • Add coconut sugar and mix well.
• Dough Formation:
  • Slowly add water (or plant-based milk) to bind the dough into a firm consistency.

3. Shaping & Molding

• The dough is rolled out to 5–8 mm thickness and cut into desired shapes using cookie cutters.
• Optionally, a fork can be used to create perforations for even baking.

4. Baking Process

• Preheat the oven to 160–170°C.
• Arrange cookies on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
• Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown at the edges.
• Let them cool on a wire rack for a crisp texture.

5. Packaging & Storage

• Once cooled, cookies are packed in moisture-resistant pouches or airtight glass jars.
• Store in a cool, dry place with a shelf life of 3–4 months.
